Chapter 184: The Prince's Choice
The prince walked to the table and sat down, took out a ledger from his hand and threw it on the table, remembering in his mind what his uncle had said to him.
"Uncle needs you to help me do one thing, this matter, you are the best candidate, in addition to helping me win back my uncle's trust in front of your mother, you can also take this opportunity to win the right to speak in front of your mother, how about it?"
"What if the nephew is done? Will my uncle help me and my mother again? ”
"Of course, when did your uncle lie to you? It's just that you have to do it well, and you can't let your mother know about it, otherwise you won't be able to do it. ”
"What does Uncle want me to do?"
"This is a good thing that can change the current situation, from the account book found by the Qinglong brocade of the household department of Shangshu and the royal industry, with it, you can make your mother impress you, and then you will never dare to say that you are useless behind your back."
At this point, the prince looked at the ledger in front of him with an inexplicable look, stretched out his hand and stroked it, "No one dares to say me again?" ”
Outside the door, a brightly dressed woman walked to the door, and the two maids in front of her who were holding the lamp dodged and dodged to the side. The palace maid guarding the door stepped forward and saluted, "Concubine Baifang." ”
The woman nodded, her eyes looking inside, "Has the prince already returned?" The palace maid nodded, "If you go back to the side concubine, the prince has indeed been back for a while." ”
The woman nodded, "Got it, you guys step down, I'll take care of the prince here." The two palace maids glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to brush off the meaning of the favorite concubine in front of them, so they all nodded and left.
The woman put on a decent smile on her face, and then the maid she brought over stepped forward to open the door, the prince frowned when he heard the sound of opening the door, and was a little unhappy in his heart, and subconsciously put away the account book on the table, "Who is so bold!" How dare you break in without my command? ”
The woman's crisp laughter sounded, "Your Highness, it's a concubine, you haven't come to see your concubine for a long time, last time you promised to come to the concubine's palace to taste the pastries made by the concubine, the concubine waited for the flowers, you didn't come, the concubine had to come to find His Royal Highness by herself." ”
When the prince heard this voice, the displeasure in his eyes narrowed a little, and his face was still slightly stiff, "This prince sees that you are getting more and more bold, let you wait a few days and you will be so impatient, this prince is also very busy all day, where is the time to accompany you to fool around, it's really nonsense, hurry back!" ”
The woman had already approached, and after listening to the prince's "scolding", her beautiful face immediately collapsed, and she pouted and stepped forward to pull the prince's sleeve and shake it, "Don't, don't, the prince is busy with government affairs all day long, and the concubines have been in the air several times, and they can't destroy His Royal Highness who is busy with business, today I finally bumped into His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness still wants to drive me away, woo woo woo ......"
As she spoke, Concubine Bai suddenly cried with rain, the prince frowned a little helplessly, seeing his concubine crying like this, the prince was still distressed, and comforted softly, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I won't drive you away, it's okay to stay, don't cry." ”
Concubine Bai wiped her tears, fell into the prince's arms, and laughed, "The prince has said so, the concubine won't cry, His Royal Highness the prince, you are so good to the concubine." ”
The prince ironed in his heart, "Of course, this prince is not good to you, who is good, it seems that this prince is too spoiled by you, so he spoils you so lawlessly." ”
Concubine Bai pouted, "Where is the concubine lawless, hmph, the prince likes to talk nonsense, the concubine is wholeheartedly good to the prince, the partial prince doesn't know what to do all day long, and the concubine's mind is not in his eyes, it's really ...... Hey? What is it? ”
Concubine Bai was still complaining, but her voice stopped suddenly, she felt the hard things in her hand, and asked out in confusion, the prince realized the account book hidden in his sleeve, pinched it, and stood up, "It's nothing, I'm sleepy, you go down first." ”
Concubine Bai looked at the things in the prince's hands so nervously, and was very curious, "Your Royal Highness the prince, what are you hiding?" Take a look at the concubines. The prince scolded impatiently in a low voice, "Look at what! Get me out of ......."
The prince turned around and saw that Concubine Bai was about to start crying again, he suddenly paused, a little helpless, and stepped forward to comfort, "You can't look at this thing casually, you go out." ”
Concubine Bai sobbed, "Concubine...... The concubines were all for the sake of the prince, and they didn't think about it...... I didn't expect the prince to be so guarded against his concubines today, what kind of husband and wife for a hundred days overnight...... It's all fake! Prince, you don't treat your concubines as your own at all, woo...... The concubine is no longer alive......"
As she spoke, Concubine Bai got up and staggered towards the pillar on the side, the prince was in a hurry, and hurriedly went over to stop him, and the ledger in his hand was drawn out of the wide sleeve and he didn't find it, but he just went up to comfort Concubine Bai.
"What are you doing here? Why are you going to die? Stop me! The prince hugged the white concubine, and the white concubine leaned on the prince's arms and cherry-sawing, but her eyes glanced at the account book on the ground, and her eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... It's not that the concubine doesn't want to live, the concubine just hopes that His Royal Highness will accompany the concubine more. Concubine Bai Fang hugged the prince's waist and buried her face in the prince's chest to admit her mistake, and the prince saw her like this, and his heart was soft, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I really have to do business today, and when I'm done with this, I'll definitely accompany you, okay?" ”
Concubine Bai looked a little reluctant, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been talking like this, so he knows how to coax me." The prince was patient, "This time it's true, didn't you say that you made pastries for Prince Ben?" While I'm in the palace today, bring it to me and give me a taste. ”
Concubine Bai was surprised when she heard this, "The prince wants to eat pastries?" The concubine was sent over immediately...... Ah! Concubine Bai walked to the door and suddenly stopped, turned to see that the prince was quickly putting away the account book on the ground, a trace of fluctuation flashed in her eyes, and then said: "The concubine did it early, it must not be fresh, the concubine will go to make a supper for the prince again, and by the way, make a supper for His Royal Highness, Your Highness will have to wait for the concubine!" ”
The prince nodded, relieved in his heart, "Okay, let's go." Concubine Bai left satisfied, walked through a few corridors and stopped, and told the maids around her to go to the kitchen to make supper, and she hurried back to her bedroom.
That night, the white dove flew out of a remote courtyard corner of the Prince's East Palace and disappeared into the night.
On the second day of the court, Mo Li was dressed neatly and was about to go out, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, and asked thoughtlessly, "How is she?" ”
